Orders received without advance payment or after the deadline date will incur additional (standard) charges as indicated on each order form. All materials and equipment are on a rental basis for the duration of the show or event and remain the property of Stetson except where specifically identified as a sale. All Stetson rentals include delivery, installation and removal from Exhibitor’s booth. In case of cancellation, charges will be applied to all labor orders that are not cancelled in writing at least five days prior to the scheduled start time.

Resale certificates are not valid unless Exhibitor is rebilling these charges to its customers.

In the event of any dispute between Exhibitor and Stetson relative to any loss, damage or claim, such Exhibitor shall not be entitled to and shall not withhold payment, or any partial payment, due to Stetson for its services as an offset against the amount of any alleged loss or damage. Any claim against Stetson shall be considered a separate transaction and shall be resolved on its own merits. Stetson reserves the right to charge Exhibitor for the difference between the Exhibitor’s estimate of charges and the actual charges incurred by Exhibitor, or for any charges that Stetson may be obligated to pay on behalf of Exhibitor, including without limitation, any shipping charges. If Exhibitor provides a credit card for payment and charges are rejected by the Exhibitor’s credit card company for any reason, Stetson hereby provides notice that it reserves the right, and Exhibitor authorized Stetson, to continue to attempt to secure payment through that credit card for as long as unpaid balances remain on Exhibitor’s account.
